Ventura Beach

The boardwalk along Ventura harbor is a great place to ride bikes. There is also a really fun, new playground out on the sane near the pier that we spent some time at on our trip down there. On our ride back to catch the train we stopped off to watch some people playing drums and Braedyn got invited in to play with them for awhile.

Boys Weekend

Mom ditched us for a few days to go hang out with her friend Nicole. We started the Boys weekend off by taking our bikes on the train down to Ventura for the afternoon. We rode all along the beach in Ventura and out on the pier. It was lots of fun. We caught the train back to Carpinteria and then went out for corndogs and ice cream!

Future Photographer??

These are some pictures Braedyn took with our camera that turned out kind of cool looking. I have no idea how he got the black and white look, I'm going to have to ask him how to use our camera I guess.

Friends

Braedyn's friend from church, Noah, came over for a morning to play and these two kids had sooo much fun together that we may need to keep them separated!

Water Bottle Rockets

We found some plans online for water bottle rockets, just some hose and a pump hooked up to a water bottle with a little air and water in makes for some excitement. This is Braedyn's new favorite toy. Why spend all kinds of money when you can have hours of entertainment for $3 at the hardware store! Braedyn wants to shoot rockets pretty much every day and wants to show them off to all his friends and anyone walking by the house as well.

Grandpa

Grandpa was in town for a visit and it was a real treat. Braedyn got to make water bottle rockets with him, learned how to spin a top, and spent plenty of time riding around town and playing at the beach with Grandpa.

Kate

Kate lives next door and has become a good friend of Braedyn's. They've had the opprotunity to play together quite a bit lately and I'm sure there will be more to come. They certainly have fun together.

Clams

We thought we'd give clams a try one night and didn't have real high expectations for Braedyn eating them. Boy were we wrong, what actually happened was that mom and dad didn't get to eat barely any because some 3 year old loved them so much that he cleared off the entire pot of them. He had so much fun forking them out of the shell too.

Juice

Mommy got a new juicer and has been putting every sort of vegetable she can find into it. Braedyn always likes to help as well and is always excited to dump the scraps into the mulch pit.

Halloween

Friday before Haloween, the city of Carpintera had trick or treating on our main drive at all the shops. There were tons of kids out. Then on Haloween night we went over to some of Braedyn's schoolmates for a pizza party and trick or treating.

Other Fun at Bloomsbury Farm

There was tons more to do at Bloomsbury farm, including some sort of random barrels being pulled behind a tractor, hay rides (without the hay), a big pile of dry corn, huge tractor tires to climb on, and some barrels with saddles. There was also a pumpkin patch, a few haunted houses and lots of other stuff you could buy. All in all it was worth the drive and the money and Braedyn had a blast.
